Chapter 1

In the three months of the mortal realm, flowers and butterflies were being hunted and butterflies were being teased by spring.
It was a prosperous scene on the Tianhua Continent.
Li Province was located on the south side of the continent, and it was blessed by the heavens.
It was decorated with red flowers and green willows.
It was the language of birds and birds, and the scenery was pleasant.
There were a total of twelve oblasts on the Tianhua Continent, and Lizhou was the best in terms of economic cultural transportation and transportation.
However, Lizhou City's scale of defense was slightly inferior compared to the capital city's Yunzhou City.Lizhou's prosperity not only benefited from its extensive transportation, but it was also because of its tradition of tolerance that it allowed the hundreds of industries to flourish within its borders.
The three religions and nine schools were all over the place.Human nature was easy to gamble.
Lizhou's prosperity had also established Lizhou's gambling industry.
Lizhou City's gambling dens were all over the place, and in terms of scale and strength, the "Wan Chang Casino" was undoubtedly the number one in Lizhou.
And today, in Lizhou's largest gambling den, there was a gambling event that had a new appearance.
It wasn't gambling, but gambling.The casino that should have been bustling with activity was now unusually quiet.
There was an exaggerated table in the middle of the casino.
This table was at least ten zhang long and six zhang wide, and was surrounded by people.
However, everyone held their breaths as they waited for the result.
Chu Botian was leaning comfortably against the back of his chair.
Behind him stood a pretty young woman, gently massaging his shoulders.He had a satisfied expression and a satisfied smile on his handsome face.
He looked dashing and handsome.
The person who bet with him was also a handsome young master.
He was nervously sitting across from the table, holding a gambling cup in his hand.
His expression was solemn and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.Chu Botian, twenty-one years old, was the only male servant in the fifth generation of the Chu Family's Pharmacy in Lizhou.
It was said that when he was born, the Chu Family's violet mist swirled in the air, and there were all sorts of phenomena.
Chu Botian had been extremely intelligent since he was young.
He was only a talent at nine years old, and he was outstanding at twelve years old.
However, due to his tenacious nature, he did not continue to study.
Instead, he was passionately mixed up in the Three Schools and Nine Schools.The handsome young master sitting across from him was the third young master of the Shi Family, the number one brothel on the Tianhua Continent, Shi Sanling.
The two of them came here to gamble in order to obtain the right to redeem themselves from the famous newcomer of the Golden Jade Pavilion.The two of them had already fought for two rounds and won each match.
In the third match, Chu Botian had taken the lead and made three or six of the biggest Leopards.
He was already invincible.
It was no wonder why he looked so proud.At the very most, it was a draw.
Shi Sanling, who hesitated for a while, finally made his move.
A thunderous rumble shook the cup, breaking the silence of the casino.
The cup fell heavily on the gambling table, and as he shouted, "Open!" Everyone's hearts were on the verge of collapse.
Before the audience could even see the result, Shi Sanling had already sighed in despondence, his face ashen.Amidst the boos, the dice in the dice cup clearly displayed six, six, and five.
It was no wonder why there was a hint of unwillingness in his gloomy expression.The victors didn't forget to console the weak, and Chu Botian didn't show any exception.
He restrained his pride and put on a look of shame, saying, "Brother Shi, I've offended you!
However, there's a saying that the casino was disappointed and that the relationship between you and the Chu clan's First Miss should be at Yun Kaiyue's time.""..."It was said that the young miss of the Chu clan, Chuyun, was the only daughter of the city lord of Lizhou City, Chu Tianfan's most beloved daughter.
She was beautiful and beautiful, and charming.
She was nineteen years old, and she was exactly the age for marriage.
Shi Sanling had seen her by chance and admired her wholeheartedly, but he had chased after her relentlessly.
However, he had no choice but to allow her to do so.Shi Sanling's heart sank, and he was only able to quench his worries by drinking in a brothel.
When he heard Chu Botian's words, he thought that he was mocking him and said angrily, "You're the one who's proud of the casino.
I'm the one who's disappointed.
I'm the one who's in love with you, and I'm the one who's pleased with myself."Chu Botian sensed the misunderstanding in his words and hurriedly said, "Brother Shi, I don't think you're of the same level as me, but you're just walking in circles.
I'm afraid that you might not be interested in blushing because of your feelings.
As for you, Miss Chu, you have a deep affection for everyone.
The so-called 'lost Eastern Elm' and 'received' Elm.
If Brother Shi is willing to listen to me, you will definitely be able to bring back the Chu clan's beauty!".Chu Botian could hear the misunderstanding in his words.
He quickly said, "Brother Shi, I don't think you're like me, but you're walking in circles.
It's just that you're feeling disappointed.
I'm afraid that you might not have feelings for the rouge.
As for you, Miss Chu, you have a deep affection for everyone.
As the saying goes, 'lost Eastern Elm and accept a Sang Elm.
If Brother Shi is willing to listen to me, you will definitely be able to bring back the Chu family's beauty!"Shi Sanling asked doubtfully, "Do you have any good ideas?"Chu Botian smiled and said, "Pass on your ears and come over!"Shi Sanling walked up to Chu Botian.
When he heard his words, his eyes lit up.
Then, he burst into laughter and thanked, "Chushao woke me up with a single sentence.
Thank you so much, brother.
To show my gratitude, I'm willing to ransom Chu Shaochu.
I hope Chushao won't refuse my offer!".Shi Sanling walked up to Chu Botian and listened to him speak in a low voice.
His eyes lit up.
Then, he laughed heartily and expressed his gratitude, "Chushao really woke me up with a single word.
Thank you so much, brother.
To express my gratitude, I've made a rosy ransom for Chu Shaochu.
I hope that Chushao won't refuse!"Chu Botian knowingly smiled and said, "Thank you!"Shi Sanling had changed and left the gambling den in high spirits.
Monk Zhang couldn't even touch his head.
He didn't know what Chu Botian had thought of for him, causing him to change.
After he left, everyone spread out in confusion.
The gambling den also opened up, and in a short moment, it returned to its former liveliness.Chu Botian shook his head.
He pushed his hands away and prepared to go to the Golden Jade Pavilion.
But just as he was about to leave, a person suddenly bumped into his chest.
He was startled and instinctively dodged.
He grabbed onto the man's shoulder.
The entire process was clean and efficient, showing that his martial arts skills were quite impressive.When he saw Laozhao, he released his grip and asked, "Laozhao, what are you doing here in such a hurry?"Laozhao took a deep breath and replied, "Young Master!
Master has been waiting for you for a whole day.
Seeing that you haven't returned yet, he's still in a rage." He paused for a moment before continuing, "Young Master, Master seems to have something urgent to tell you.
He said that he must find you no matter what.
If we don't split up and look for you, then this old servant is lucky.""..."Chubotian thought to himself.
His father, Chu Xiancheng, had never cared about what he had done outside, nor had he been angry that he hadn't returned home at night.
It seemed like there really was something going on.
He couldn't go to the Golden Jade Pavilion first, so he could only go home.Although the Chu family opened the medical hall, it had a huge influence in Lizhou.
Not to mention the daily life-saving treatment, the Chu family's status in Lizhou's medical family was incomparable.
Half of Lizhou's medical halls were surnamed Chu, and in order to ensure the quality of the medicinal herbs, the Chu family controlled most of Lizhou's market for medicinal herbs.
In the entire continent, the Chu family's branch hall was also full of flowers.Who didn't have any sickness?
With the Chu family's strength in the medical forest and some legends, the Chu family enjoyed a lofty position in the Tianhua Continent.In Chu Xiancheng's study room, Chu Botian leaned back on his chair and crossed his legs uneasily, waiting for his father to speak.
However, Chu Xiancheng didn't say a word.
Instead, he stared at Chu Xiancheng with a grave expression on his face.
This made Chu Botian's heart shiver.
He couldn't help but put his legs down and sat upright on the chair.Chu Xiancheng was already sixty-three years old, but his only son was only twenty-one years old.
The reason was that he was so infatuated with his wife, Huang Suying.
Huang Suying was born with a bloodline, so he couldn't bear to give birth to a son.
Even though he tried to persuade Chu Xiancheng to take in a concubine, Chu Xiancheng was stubborn and refused to do anything.
It wasn't until twenty years ago when Chu Xiancheng's father, Chu Lintian, had passed away and told him that he had to leave behind the Chu clan that he had married another wife, which was also Chu Botian's mother, Yefen.Seeing that his son had succumbed to his seriousness, he finally spoke, "Bo Tian'er, father has a problem.
You are the only one who can help, but you might not be willing to help.
What do you think?"Chu Botian cautiously probed, "Dad, if you have anything you want to say, just say it.
As long as you can help, how can a son not listen to you?!" His father's abnormal attitude made him wary.He knew that his son had always been against the imperial exam and had no interest in officials.
Originally, he wanted to hang him, but seeing that he was already suspicious and worried about increasing his resistance, he had no choice but to speak frankly..Chu Botian didn't believe his words.
After all, this matter had come so suddenly that it wasn't that simple.
He asked, "Dad, I thought it was something important.
I've told you several times about this exam.
I told you that I won't go!
I've brought up the old matter again.
Is there something else you want to hide from me?".Chu Botian didn't believe his words.
After all, this matter had come so suddenly that it wasn't as simple as it seemed.
He asked, "Dad, I thought it was something.
I told you several times about the imperial exam.
I told you that I wouldn't go!
I've brought up the old matter again.
Is there something else that you're hiding from me?"Chu Xiancheng nodded and said, "You really are thoughtful.
Since you have such sharp thoughts, I can rest assured that you will be able to do something big."Chu Botian asked, "What's the big deal?"Chu Xiancheng closed the doors and windows, but did not directly answer.
Instead, he sat down and said, "The reason why our Chu Family was able to stand strong in the medical forest for a hundred years is purely because we're the descendants of the Immortal Medicine Sect.
A hundred years ago, the Immortal Medicine Sect enjoyed a very high position in the Jianghu.
Because the Immortal Medicine Sect not only has brilliant medical skills, but also has the ability to revive from the dead.
Furthermore, their martial arts are also in the Wulin.
The ancestor was called the 'Medicine Immortal'.After the ancestor became an immortal, the Immortal Physician Sect quickly declined.
Not only were their martial arts not as good as before, but even their medical skills were only half as good."The reason is that when the ancestor became an immortal, he took away the pouch that can be used to refine immortal pills.
Without it, the Immortal Medicine Sect will no longer be able to refine a good pill."Chu Botian couldn't help but interject, "Becoming an immortal?
Can mortals really become immortals?
Are there really immortals in this world?"Chu Xiancheng nodded and said, "I checked the family records.
Three hundred years ago, there were many immortal cultivation sects on the continent, but three hundred years ago, there was a huge change.
From then on, no one was able to become an immortal.
The Old Ancestor was a hundred years late.
We couldn't be sure if he had become an immortal.
However, according to our ancestors, the Old Ancestor disappeared while he was in seclusion.
Over a hundred years had passed, but he still didn't have any information.
As a junior, we thought that the Old Ancestor must have found the secret method of immortal cultivation in the pouch."...""So there really are immortals in this world, and what kind of thing is that pouch?
It's so powerful.
Without it, even our Immortal Medicine Sect will be defeated?" Chu Botian was a little excited when he heard that his ancestor had ascended to the Immortal Human stage, but he still noticed the key point in his father's words.Seeing his interest piqued, Chu Xiancheng continued, "Rumor has it that the Suan Ni was born from a trillion-years-old immortal vine in the sky.
Later on, it became Old Lord Taishang's personal treasure.
I don't know how it ended up flowing into the mortal realm and obtaining it for our ancestor.
With this treasure, we can refine all sorts of spiritual pills and elixirs.Ordinary illnesses could be treated with ordinary medicines, but there were some illnesses, or rather, not illnesses.
To be treated, one had to use ferocious medicines.
The medicines were ferocious, and generally, they were very fiery.
There were several kinds of ingredients that were extremely fiery.
If one were to refine them together, not to mention a person who ate them, even a deity would have to die.However, this pouch had a special characteristic.
No matter how potent the pill was, as long as it was put into the bag, it would become gentle.With this pouch, the ancestor didn't need to spend any effort on researching the combination of pill recipes.
As long as it was a good herb, they would be able to refine a good pill.
The Immortal Medicine Sect had a place in the Jianghu, and it was all because their disciples had taken the pill medicine that their martial arts progressed extremely quickly."..."Chubotian said regretfully, "Unfortunately, what a pity!
How could the Old Ancestor take the Suan Ni away?!"Chu Xiancheng shook his head and said, "The pouch wasn't taken away.
The ancestors all thought that it was taken away by the Old Ancestor, but since it suddenly appeared recently, it shows that the Old Ancestor didn't take it away at all."When Chu Botian heard that the pouch had appeared again, he regained his spirit and asked, "Does father know where it is?"Chu Xiancheng said, "I heard that it might be in the same place, so I'll see if you're willing to go."Chu Botian hurriedly asked, "Where?
As long as I know the location, I'll take it back even if I want to go up the mountain of knives and bath in the sea of flames!"Chu Xiancheng said in satisfaction, "My son, you have to keep your word.
The reason I let you participate in the imperial exam this time is because I received news that Xuan Yuandai is in the palace!"Only then did Chu Botian understand his father's intention.
He knew that he had already been bypassed.
Although he wasn't willing to take the imperial exam, he couldn't resist the temptation of the pouch.
He said helplessly, "Dad, let's not talk about whether the pouch is in the palace or not.
Even if I get accepted as an official, I won't be able to enter the palace, let alone get it."..."Chu Xiancheng shook his head again and said, "Otherwise, becoming an official is better than being an official.
Besides, once you become an official, you will be able to contact those who can enter the palace.
There will always be opportunities.
Your father is old, otherwise I would have entered the palace on my own.
But now, I can only rely on you.".Chu Xiancheng shook his head again and said, "Otherwise, becoming an official is better than being an official and getting close to the imperial palace.
What's more, once you become an official, you will be able to deal with those who can enter the imperial palace.
There will always be opportunities.
Your father is old, otherwise I would have entered the imperial palace on my own, but now I can only rely on you!"Chu Botian thought for a bit and couldn't think of a reason to refuse.
In any case, he was also filled with expectation for the pouch.
However, he was unwilling to accept his father's offer and said, "Dad, I've been studying for 10 years.
I don't dare to guarantee that I will be able to pass the exam.
There's one more thing I need you to promise me before I leave.".Chu Botian thought for a moment and couldn't think of a reason to refuse.
Moreover, he was also filled with expectations for the pouch.
But after being set up by his father, he couldn't accept it and said, "Dad, I've been studying for ten years.
Whether I can pass the exam or not, I don't dare to guarantee it.
There's another matter that you have to agree to before I leave!"Chu Xiancheng saw that he agreed to take the exam and smiled in satisfaction, "Don't worry about that.
You're my son, and I know your ability.
How can you forget that little book?
Besides, I've made preparations this time.
You can go to the capital and bring a million taels of silver notes.
As long as you can pass the exam, you don't need to worry about money.
After you pass the exam, you have to think of a way to find a suitable official."What do you have to do?
Just say it out of consideration that you need to contribute greatly to the Chu clan."Chu Botian said embarrassedly, "It's like this.
I like the golden jade pavilion's chubby red.
I want to bring her home!"Chu Xiancheng was a little dizzy.
He shook his head.
He had heard of Chu Botian's flirtatious ways outside, but he had never brought him home.
In order to prevent Chu Botian from messing around outside, he had given him a beautiful girl.
Who would have thought that in the end, he still couldn't help but worry about this matter?However, he didn't throw a tantrum.
He wasn't an old stubborn person.
He couldn't forcefully force a demolition of his son's private relationship, but he was a little unhappy.
After all, this time, a brothel girl was coming.Chu Xiancheng asked worriedly, "I heard that the third young master of the Shi Family is also related to this matter?"Chu Botian could tell that his father wasn't angry, and knew that there was a way.
He quickly said, "Shi Sanling has already given up, and he even paid a ransom for me.
Father, don't worry!"Chu Xiancheng was a little surprised by this result, but he didn't continue asking.
He wasn't a person who was curious about everything.
Moreover, Chu Botian often did something unexpected, so it wasn't strange.
He was only concerned that the Shi clan's power in Li Province was very powerful.
If they offended the Shi clan just for a brothel girl, then it wouldn't be worth it!
The two tigers clashed, and the result would only be two defeats.
Since they were both happy, the matter was settled.
